Find keyboard shortcuts

Find the keyboard shortcuts for a tool, button, or menu command by doing any of the following:

For menu commands, look for the keyboard shortcut at the right of the command.

For the most-used keyboard shortcuts not shown in tool tips or on menus, see the tables in this article. For a complete list of default and current shortcuts, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows) or Premiere Elements > Keyboard Shortcuts (Mac OS)

Customize or load keyboard shortcuts

You can set shortcuts to match shortcuts in other software you use. If other sets are available, you can choose them from the Set menu in the Keyboard Customization dialog box.

For customizing keyboard shortcuts, choose one of the following:

In Windows, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts

In Mac OS, choose Premiere Elements > Keyboard Shortcuts

In the Keyboard Customization dialog box, choose an option from the menu:

Application

Displays commands found in the menu bar, organized by category.

Panels

Displays commands associated with panels and menus.

Tools

Displays a list of tool icons.

In the Command column, view the command for which you want to create or change a shortcut. If necessary, click the triangle next to the name of a category to reveal the commands it includes.

Click in the item’s shortcut field to select it.

Type the shortcut you want to use for the item. The Keyboard Customization dialog box displays an alert if the shortcut you choose is already in use.

Do one of the following:

To erase a shortcut and return it to the command that originally had it, click Undo.

To jump to the command that previously had the shortcut, click Go To.

To simply delete the shortcut you typed, click Clear.

To re-enter the shortcut you typed previously, click Redo.

Repeat the procedure to enter as many shortcuts as you want. When you’re finished, click Save As, type a name for your Key Set, and click Save.

Observação:

The operating system reserves some commands. You cannot reassign those commands to Premiere Elements. Also, you cannot assign the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numeric keypad because they are necessary for entering relative timecode values. You can assign the minus (–) key on the main keyboard, however.
